(Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Internal growth rate % Explanation: To calculate the internal growth rate, we need to find the ROA and the plowback ratio. The ROA for the company is: ROA = Net income / Total assets ROA = $12,103 / $102,900 ROA = .1176 or 11.76% And the plowback ratio is: b = 1 – Payout ratio b = 1 – .37 b = .63 Now, we can use the internal growth rate equation to find: Internal growth rate = [(ROA)(b)] / [1 – (ROA)(b)] Internal growth rate = [.1176(.63)] / [1 – .1176(.63)] Internal growth rate = .0800, or 8.00%
